TDs are failing if they DON'T list their events on UDisc. Too many players use it to plan a round with friends.
Our club(DisCap) uses it along with DGS(registration) and social media advertising on FB/Discord. Game day signage is a MUST if you have a full course and want to ensure that casuals don't slip into the mix. Every course is different as far as physical accessibility so nothing is 100%. And some chuckers simply will not listen even if there's an alternate course 15 minutes away. :\
No fewer than 5 local leagues use UDisc with consistently positive feedback from players.
I've been a TD since 2009 and BY FAR, the biggest gamechanger for me has been the invent and advancement of digital scoring. GONE ARE THE DAYS of spending ALL OF LUNCHBREAK checking paper cards, running down players with issues, etc etc etc.
UDisc started the revolution. The PDGA app changed TD life.
I agree with most of this. The failure of UDisc is the inability to register and run tournaments and leagues. The scoring feature is indeed a game changer. We have gone to UDisc scoring for our leagues and it is fantastic. But, building a league page on UDisc is a nightmare and the lack of communication tools is limiting.
Great point about on course signage.
